Scripted Inputs for *Nix
Hello,
I'm having a hard time funding the documentation for the scripts that come with the standard installation of the Splunk for Unix and Linux app. Where can I go to find out what kinds of statistics these scripts are actually gathering individually?
Thanks,
Alex

You can run script manually and see the output too.

I have not found any documentation on what the scripts do either. So far as I can tell, the way you find out what the scripts do is to read the scripts.
The scripts are located in the etc/apps/unix/bin folder.
Unfortunately, there are not a lot of informative comments included in the scripts. Modifying the scripts to include comments would be an enhancement.

The scripts are in the unix app or TA_nix app depending on which one you installed. You can find them in the bin folder.
splunk/etc/apps/unix/bin
If you cannot "locate" the cpu.sh script, the you probably have a permission problem.

There is not folder like this when I install app. Folder is splunk_app_for_nix. Its not reflected in documentation.
Also there is no setup.sh in bin folder, so how should I enable inputs?

I'm not seeing the 'apps' directory within etc/.
I ran 'locate cpu.sh' and it did not come up with anything.

The scripts for collecting data are on the server that is being monitored.

Is that on the Splunk server, or the server that I am monitoring?
